For a long time, online courses meant one thing:

You bought the course.
You watched the videos.
And then you were left to figure the rest out by yourself.

Thatโ€™s exactly what I didnโ€™t want to create.

When I built my Online Interior Design Course with SketchUp, I knew I wanted it to feel different.

Because interior design is not something you learn well from generic advice alone.
And itโ€™s definitely not something you learn properly from an AI-generated course with no depth, no context, and no real support.

You need guidance.
You need experience.
You need someone who has done the work, solved the problems, and can help you move forward with confidence.

Thatโ€™s what makes this course different.

Itโ€™s not just online learning.
Itโ€™s real teaching, real experience, and real support, with SketchUp included.

If you want to learn interior design properly, with flexible lessons and live expert guidance along the way, this course was designed for you.

Sometimes you don't need a course; you need support from someone who knows what they're doing, has been there and got the t-shirt. Someone approachable, who can guide you to reach your full potential, in design and as a person, wherever you are in the world.

Design problems are the same the world over, but not all design support, teaching, and mentoring is the same.

Stop second-guessing every design decision. Start designing with confidence.

Inside the Studio Speck Design Membership, you'll learn exactly how to create a home or space that feels professionally designed, with expert support every step of the way.

You'll get all of our professional Canva templates.

Your midweek design motivation. As a designer, I need reminding to keep going when I have a design challenge. Here is today's motivation.

Coming this Friday, I have a great conversation with Laura Hayter, a mindset and business coach with extraordinary success in helping people change their limiting beliefs and subconscious programming. We discuss all the burning issues many individuals face in business, particularly in interior businesses, where you have to be visible so clients can decide to work with you, and, in my case, design enthusiasts can decide to learn with you.

If you have ever felt stuck in business or life, this is for you! If you've ever had a dream of becoming an interior designer, are a design student, or are transitioning careers, this is a must-listen!

Over the years in my design courses, as many will know, there is also some coaching involved as I help students realise they CAN do it, I've seen many many people with limiting beliefs and have enjoyed their realisations and looks of absolute joy when they not only learn HOW to design but also start to believe they CAN design for themselves or indeed, earn a living from it.

In this episode, we unpack why so many keep themselves small, doubt themselves and why this happens.

Fascinating stuff!!
Coming this Friday, 11th June.

It's been a busy May...

from starting on-site at a new project.....to revamping a lounge through e-design (great for keeping costs down).....to holding a course/membership session on building regs for interior designers.....and coaching and mentoring sessions for new designers and career transitioners.....to creating a masterclass on managing client expectations...

The next podcast session is going LIVE today!

In this episode, I have a conversation with Eleri Philips Adams on what it's like being on an interiors show and how she got into interior design. Eleri loves colour and her husband is a talented carpenter. They transformed their home and appeared on Wales Home of the Year. They are now onto their next developing adventure, a new home.

Whether youโ€™re an established designer, just starting out on your design journey, or considering a career in design, there are sure to be valuable insights in this episode!

Come and have a listen!

Scope creep is real and all too common.

You think you are being helpful and accommodating when a client asks you to 'just try another layout, but as interior design is nuanced, it affects everything else. You can't just easily swap out a colour or a sofa. It's not that simple.

You have probably already tried this other layout.

You know it doesn't work

You tried several layouts before you put the final layout in front of your client

Design is a game of trust, knowledge, expertise, confidence and experience.

If you are a new designer, or are thinking about designing for others, you may have only one of these and client challenges may knock you.

You may stumble and are not sure how to react, what to say and how to explain.

Our client onboarding process template helps you manage client expectations.

Our latest training webinar is all about how to do this.

Your client doesn't know the design process.

Your client may think AI does it all for you in the blink of an eye.

Your client doesn't know that even if you use AI to help you, you need the knowledge to use the right scripts, so these changes will still take time.

If you have half a dozen clients on the go and this happens in every project, that's 18 hours you are letting go of.

If you are doing this every month of the year, that's 216 hours of unpaid work just because you didn't know how to deal with it.

STOP

Unlock a simpler and more efficient process with our new video tutorial. Also included is the client and pricing templates you need to stop undercharging and leaving money on the table.
